אַל־תַּסֵּג גְּבוּל עוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ אֲבוֹתֶֽיךָ
Remove not the ancient landmark, Which thy fathers have set.
חָזִיתָ אִישׁ מָהִיר בִּמְלַאכְתּוֹ לִֽפְנֵֽי־מְלָכִים יִתְיַצָּב בַּל־יִתְיַצֵּב לִפְנֵי חֲשֻׁכִּֽים
Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; He shall not stand before mean men.
כִּֽי־תֵשֵׁב לִלְחוֹם אֶת־מוֹשֵׁל בִּין תָּבִין אֶת־אֲשֶׁר לְפָנֶֽיךָ
When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider well him that is before thee;
וְשַׂמְתָּ שַׂכִּין בְּלֹעֶךָ אִם־בַּעַל נֶפֶשׁ אָֽתָּה
And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
אַל־תִּתְאָו לְמַטְעַמּוֹתָיו וְהוּא לֶחֶם כְּזָבִֽים
Be not desirous of his dainties; seeing they are deceitful food.
